- In episode 12 we talk to Adam Mole from Intergalactic Punk Rock Hip Hoppers Pop Will Eat Itself!
Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!
That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond.
We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s.
If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!

My uncle is fuzz I love pwei got to do a soundcheck on drums for them when they were in Australia as fuzz watched out the front So much fun.
Fuzz is a legend! We are hoping to get him on the podcast soon! Are you Australia based?
@@stupidandcontagiouspodcast yeah I live in Melbourne Victoria
@@philb6537 lucky b*stard 🤘🏻
Brilliant podcast, another insightful and interesting interview. This was no exception chatting to Adam. What a really down to earth fella. Did my first open air crowd surf at Reading Festival 1991 during the Poppies set on the Fiday. They were also my band of the whole weekend! Am so glad that we can still go and appreciate seeing them live! They still dig it!
Still great live for sure although not apparently if you’re a Run DMC fan! 🤘🏻
Pwei were brilliant at camper calling this year. I was also at the reformation gig. For clints last gig that was a special night.
I’ve seen them a few times now and always superb! BRA featuring Fuzz Townsend were also superb at @shiiineonfestival yesterday 🤘🏻
Bittersweet memories of that Def Jam tour as a Poppies fan. When I purchased my tickets for the Brum Hummingbird gig PWEI was still the opening act - supporting Public Enemy and RUN DMC - but by the time the gig came around, they'd changed the opening act to Derek B (whom, I can confirm, was indeed a bad young brother).
That whole Def Jam your experience for the Poppies sounds mad! Were Run DMC any good though?
@@stupidandcontagiouspodcast I think so. Unfortunately I was taxed (mugged) that evening and missed some of RUN DMCs set. Public Enemy were the bomb tho - the crowd reaction was insane.
Brum Hummingbird, back in the day, was such a great venue, lucky to have seen so many great gigs there; Rollins opening for RHCP (Mothers Milk tour) and one of my fave bands The Doughboys opening for Ned’s Atomic Dustbin to name a few.
You ever go there?
@@TYSL down south so didn’t make it to that venue but sounds awesome! 🤘🏻
as always a great podcast. great stories from one of the best indie bands of all time. Will never forget stage diving and crowd surfing in my baggy shorts, long sleeved T and flame red undercut hair, Poppies set the place on fire (not literally lol) definitely one of my fave 90s gigs.. Mr Mole, what a lovely chap... p.s you guys should do another podcast just shooting the breeze.. crying with laughter at the banter.. keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words as always. I’m not sure a podcast just dedicated to our nonsense would be a good idea but thank you, too kind! 🤘🏻
Awesome interview. Love the Poppies. Have done since the beginning. Great to hear Adam's stories. I remember seeing PWEI a few years ago in Australia and Adam Mole appeared and I couldn't believe it. Great to have Mary and Davey in the band now. Also unbelievable to have the OG's back. Cant wait to see them back in Oz with Jesus Jones next month. Cheers, Adam
That PWEI / Jesus Jones tour looks like it will be f*cking awesome 🤘🏻
Was at Toronto show with PWEI, NIN, Manson and Soundgarden. PWEI and NIN mashed our brains, and rocked our bodies with samples and beats that we’d been listening to for years. It was a non-stop hyper jump around. Thanks for doing the interview.
Would love to have gone to that tour, what a lineup! 🤘🏻
Really interesting how the progress of technology meant they had so much trouble playing older stuff live until recently.
Glad they can now, they were amazing in October.
I know right, I don’t think young musicians will appreciate the pain of those 90s samplers!
Love PWEI.
Nearly saw them for free a few years back until I realised I’d double booked myself.
Great band live for sure! 🤘🏻
I experienced the same - pogoing like crazy in the mosh pit in a live DC show...to this day I've not seen a whole crowd bouncing up and down in unison - like a thousand people on a trampoline is the perfect description!
Used to love a good mosh! 🤘🏻
I was going to mention it myself when Neil said how much beastie boys have come up over the course of this podcast. They really were massively influential across the whole music industry and still are. I was listening to a bit of ice t and a lot of cypress hill around this time as well.
I met joe mangel in a goth club under the town hall in Sheffield once.
Love the way they are all sighting the Beastie Boys, such an influential band on all genres apparently! 🤘🏻
I wasn’t expecting that one
Weirdly I saw Poppies in 1986 by accident. I went to see the psychobilly band 'The Meteors' with a couple of mates and when we got there, unknown to us The Meteors were cancelled ages before and a different band was playing. As we'd traveled to get there we figured me might as well go and see whoever was playing and it was Pop will eat itself. We weren't the only ones who didn't get the memo and who had decided to stay rather than go home. So that night the poppies played and had a whole load of psychobillys going crazy to them all night. It was a really good night... My fav track is still 'Sweet Sweet Pie' from those early days.
Love early PWEI, 1986?!
@@stupidandcontagiouspodcastYeah it was a nightclub with a 1ft high stage. I don't even know if they had a record out yet, maybe the poppycock ep? I had just left school and was 16 or maybe just turned 17 and I went with a couple of slightly older mates who were 18 and got me in. :D They sounded NOTHING like they did later, they really did sound like Buzzcocks or something. Fast catchy punk.
Good ol' Mr. Vestanpantz!
Indeed 🤘🏻
Harry Dean Stanton possibly for me!
Ooh, that’s a good one 🤘🏻
